Choosing a Roommate

A roommate request isn’t confirmed until the other student has mutually requested you. To make a roommate request, you will need to provide your future roommate’s last name and Kent State University email address. Once a request is confirmed, the first roommate to select a room in March is given the option to assign the requested roommate in the new fall room with them. You are unable to request a new incoming student to be your roommate if they have not fully submitted their application.

What should I know if I want to stay in the same hall for next year?

Students interested in staying in the same hall for the upcoming academic year will have first preference to secure a room in their current hall for next year. Renew to My Hall is NOT an option for students living in the Eastway area or students living in Stopher and Johnson Halls who are not admitted to the Honors College. The above areas are for new incoming students or for living-learning communities only.

There are changes in some residence halls with respect to student eligibility and process. Please read carefully, as some of these changes could affect you. 

Step 1

Beginning Jan. 14 at 10 a.m., the Returning Student Housing Application opens. At this time, you can:

• Request roommates, 
• Complete your profile, and

Class standing (based on credit hours) refers what it will be after spring 2026.
